Steam trap for process equipment and heat exchangers
This BELL & GOSSETT FT030H-4 steam trap serves process equipment, blast coils, heat exchangers, steam mains and unit heaters. Its cast-iron body and float handle a condensate capacity of 900 lb/hr at 30 psi. The H-pattern configuration with 5 1/2 in port spacing fits horizontal piping runs.
Thermals noise and power draw in normal use
The trap operates passively without electrical power so it produces no fan noise or electrical draw. Cast-iron construction withstands continuous steam temperatures up to 406 °F. Internal float and air-vent mechanisms discharge condensate automatically while preventing live-steam loss.
Strainer and air vent included for simpler
A built-in strainer protects the valve seat from pipe-scale debris that could cause leakage. The integrated air vent removes non-condensable gases during start-up, reducing warm-up time and water-hammer risk. Both features are factory-fitted so no separate components are required.

Questions about this item
How do I install the FT030H-4 horizontally with the 5 1/2 in port spacing, and what step is often missed?
Mount the trap level in a horizontal pipe run with 5 1/2 in between inlet and outlet, and fit the included strainer upstream so debris cannot reach the float mechanism.
What maintenance will the cast iron float and strainer need over time?
Isolate the trap, open the strainer screen and clean out sediment, then verify the cast iron float moves freely before returning the unit to service.
At what pressure does the 1,900 lb/hr capacity limit apply during continuous operation?
The 1,900 lb/hr rating is reached at the maximum 30 psi differential; sustained loads beyond that pressure will exceed the trap’s discharge capability.
